I've asked several people to leave after they have given notice.

Generally what has happened is they looked for a new gig due to something lacking in their current one or "grass is greener" mentality.

I accepted their 2 weeks and told them i appreciated their staying and finishing their projects.

Then something weird happens. Since they have mentally "left" they end up spending more time wandering the building and being negative than they do producing work.

One of those people I hired back three years later.

It's not personal. Just business.
